About the Sacred Visions Pow-Wow
In 2009 the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and the Sacred Visions Pow-Wow Committee held the first Sacred Visions Pow-Wow. The objective of this project was to attract out-of-state participants and spectators to the event, and in turn, create a positive economic impact for the economies of Northern Nevada and the tribe. The Sacred Visions Pow-Wow Committee consists of a group of tribal members who have a vision to bring the community together and improve the quality of life on the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. The Annual Sacred Visions Pow-Wow attracts more than 3,000 people from all across the Western United States and helps support the local economies of Pyramid Lake and Northern Nevada.

About Pyramid Lake and its people
Pyramid Lake is located about 35 miles Northeast of Reno, Nev., and is the property of and managed by the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. Pyramid Lake is known as being North America’s most beautiful desert lake. The lake occupies 112,000 surface acres inside the reservation boundary and has a shoreline of approximately 125 miles. The lake has no outlet and is a residual body remaining from the prehistoric Great Lake Lahontan water body. The lake is fed primarily by the Truckee River and is famous as a fishery for the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout and Cui-ui, which are on the endangered species list. The Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation comprises 476,728 acres. The tribal members are direct descendants of the Northern Paiute people who have occupied the vast areas of the Great Basin for thousands of years. Pyramid Lake was designated as one of the first National Scenic Byways in the country and was the first scenic byway entirely on an Indian reservation.
